[ Della's face pops up looking... well, like everyone else - exhausted physically, mentally, and emotionally. She smacks her beak a bit, before speaking. ]
... So. That sucked.
[ Fully aware that's the understatement of the century, Della draws a breath, and tries again. ]
I think we could all use a nice, long breather after everything... and, gosh darn it, as Train Mom, that is my sacred duty. Hugs? Head on the lap? Head-pats telling you that you did a good job? A shoulder to cry on? Venting out all your feelings without judgement? I'm right here.
[ She slaps her chest, then slaps a small sign on on the sports/gym car. It reads
EXHAUST PILE WITHIN
But as she does this, Tidus enters the scene - Della jumps, surprised, almost forgetting his presence.
He just smiles, holding up two cups with steam coming off them, then addresses the video feed as well. ]
We're also making big batches of cocoa too. Any of you that're gonna stress bake? There's room for that room - s'long as you don't need a nap first.
[ It's a small chide though, his smile small but sympathetic. ]
I've gotten out some incense pots from the supplies - you guys who got your head thrown into a blender by that aash-- uh, that jerk, [ he takes a swift glance at Della, then back ] --it'll help you relax. Just some, but better than nothin'. I'll set some off in Momma Duck's air nest, but if you're not doing great and you think you need a pot? Tell me. Raven made a lot of good stuff for good nights sleep if you need any in the medcar, too.
... So, yes. Cocoa. Incense. Hugging. And if you want to sleep with friends for a couple nights, we got air beds and extra pillows in here. Nobody has to get up and go until they feel ready.
And if that's not enough, that's fine too. Maybe next month we do something a little more organized, if you have any suggestions - movie night, sleepover night, big eat night, whatever, I'm listening. And I'm here for you.
[ Action ]
And inside the sports gym, the pair can be found. They have a few airbeds blown up, but there's more that still need airing up if you pop in straight after their message. There's also a tremendous amount of pillows. If you want to help, get blowing, and make these airbeds look nice and comfy!
The transgate from the standard coach has mysteriously been moved to the sports gym's outer hallway. Who did that? But it makes it easier to bring in the cups of hot chocolate from the kitchens, and for anyone who wants to bring snacks to do so. Take a seat, remember to bring your sleeping bag and whatever else you want. Plushes, your own musical instrument to offer some de-stress medication of your own with a melody.
And there's an area where small incense pots burn away, a gentle mist rising up. It won't heal the mind completely, but it will offer it some peace. And if you're worried about nightmares, a few of Raven's sachets and teas are available.
So come get a mom hug. Come and offer hugs. Just come and get something out of the company, whatever it is. Tidus and Della - and others - will be here to give a hand.
The life you had might've been fake, but the people around you aren't.
((OOC: consider this a mingling post, where everyone is free to tag everyone else! be the comforter, the one offering comfort, both, whatever!))

He nodded against his side. "You fought really hard, it must have been very difficult when everything was falling apart like that."
no subject
Working hard doesn't matter. He can work his ass off for years, as long as it means he gets to hear this from his friend.
"It's okay. The missions are always like that anyway, right..? I've done so many of them by now.. I'm used to it."
He's sure Taiki gets it, to some extent. Sure, the other has a harder time because he has his bloodsickness to contend with, but the other has also been through so many missions at this point.
no subject
They did get easier, even if some where harder to cope with than others, in many ways. But he sighed, smiling softly at Inigo.
"You should accept that you are an exceptional person, Inigo."
He knows it will embarrass his friend, which is why he goes quiet after and just wraps his arms tighter around him.
no subject
But it'd be rude to turn down a compliment from Taiki, so he doesn't. Or tries not to, as he can feel his face heating up, burying it against Taiki's shoulder.
"Thanks.. But.. all I'm doing is working hard, just like everyone else," he mumbles against said shoulder.
no subject
He smiled and closed his eyes. He was just glad it had all turned out alright. Their hard work had paid off and everyone had gotten home. That was the important thing. Everyone had gotten home and they had gotten back to the train.
no subject
Still muffled against Taiki, but it's audible enough between the two of them, while they're this close.
"It's just strange to be praised for that when everyone's doing it. We all just want to save people on these missions."
no subject
But Inigo was his friend, and he was bad at giving himself any credit at all.
no subject
"I don't trust it when you don't say anything in return to that! I know what you're thinking!" He must be thinking that Inigo deserves it after all. Taiki, you fiend! Thinking these fiendish thoughts while cuddling with him!
no subject
His voice has a teasing quality though, it's nice, to be so comfortable with someone.
no subject
Though Inigo doesn't protest with his full strength. Perhaps this is Taiki's true advantage - Inigo can't push back too hard against him, since he doesn't want the other to lose the ability to tease him. It's so rare for someone as sweet and polite as Taiki to do that, and Inigo doesn't want to give him the idea that he can't do it after all.
But it's still hard to endure. B-Be strong, Inigo...
"This is unfair. You're too cute." Especially when Taiki is cuddling with him!!
no subject
But he knows Inigo and he knows Inigo won't truly get upset at him. Especially when he is only telling the truth.
He tightens his arms, giving Inigo extra cuddles.
no subject
But is he saying anything that's wrong? Taiki weaponizing his cuteness like this should be illegal! He's by far too cute and powerful to be allowed to pull this off!
"Because I really can't say no to anything when it's you."
.. and when he's getting extra cuddles.
Darn his cuddle weakness.
no subject
Inigo should stand up for himself more, it was important. He keeps up the extra cuddles though, leaning sleepily on his friend.
It is very comfortable here, surrounded by the soft noises of people settling down to rest.
no subject
"It's not like you've ever done anything I didn't like."
Taiki's not the type.
".. other than compliment me, anyway." But Inigo is pretty sure that he'll never get the other to stop doing that. Ever.
no subject
Except complimenting him. Because Inigo deserved that.
